Boker 01Bo797 Intention Ii 3.07" Folding Tanto Plain D2 Steel Blade

The Boker Intention II is a compact folding knife built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday carry who need a blade that handles field tasks without bulk. At 3.07 inches, the tanto-shaped plain-edge blade sits right in that sweet spot between nimble EDC and real working steel—sharp enough for camp chores, rope, game processing, or whatever comes up in the field. The D2 steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion better than basic stainless, making it a solid choice for extended trips into the backcountry or truck duty.

Where the Intention II earns its place in your pack is the design philosophy: it's stripped down and purposeful. The plain edge keeps things simple and sharp, without serrations that are a pain to maintain or resharpen in the field. The folding design means it fits your pocket or pack without drawing attention, and the black G10 handle offers a secure, textured grip whether your hands are wet or gloved up.

This is the kind of knife that doesn't try to do everything—it does one job well. Whether you're processing game, setting up camp, or just need a dependable blade within arm's reach, the Intention II delivers straightforward performance without the hype or unnecessary weight. A no-nonsense tool for hunters and outdoors people who value reliability over flash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Intention II good for hunting and field dressing?

Yes. The 3.07" D2 blade is sized and shaped for camp tasks and field work. D2 steel holds an edge well for slicing and detail work, and the plain edge is easy to touch up on a stone when you need it. It's not a dedicated game knife, but it's a capable all-purpose blade for hunters.

What's the difference between the tanto blade shape and a drop point?

The tanto has a flat or slightly curved edge that meets a sharp point at the tip, creating a strong, angular profile. It excels at detail work and piercing; the flat edge near the handle gives you good control for fine cuts. A drop point slopes gradually from the spine to the tip, which some prefer for slicing tasks. Both work in the field—it comes down to your preference.

Can I carry the Intention II every day?

Yes. At 3.07" and in folding form, it's designed to live in your pocket without printing or getting in the way. The black handle keeps it discreet, and the secure G10 material won't slip or rattle. Perfect for hunters, outdoors workers, or anyone who wants a knife within reach.

How do I sharpen and maintain D2 steel?

D2 steel can be sharpened on whetstones, steels, or honing systems—treat it like any carbon or semi-stainless blade. It's tougher than some stainless steels, so it holds an edge longer between sharpening sessions. Keep it dry and occasionally oil or wax the blade to ward off rust, especially if you use it in wet conditions or after processing game.
